Will you continue to report scores, or change to pass/fail?

In conversations with the various stakeholder groups that occurred as part of the USMLE review process, strongly held opinions were expressed on both sides of this question. Some felt that maintaining numeric score reporting is essential while others felt that numeric scores should be abolished. For the present, we do not anticipate changing current practice. As the examination sequence evolves, potential changes in score reporting would be weighed in light of validity research, including intended use of scores.
